I wanted to quickly share a few photos from the preseason game that I recently photographed for US Presswire. The game was at Ford Field where the Detroit Lions hosted the Cleveland Browns. The Lions lost in the last minute when the Browns made a field goal. Enjoy!
Last weekend when I was in Canton, OH photographing the Pro Football Hall of Fame game between the Arizona Cardinals and the New Orleans Saints and the Enshrinement, I was able to tour the HOF for a little bit and take some pictures. I did not focus on these pictures in my previous blogs that I wrote (here and here) but I though I would share a few pictures now.
Recently I was able to cover the NFL Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement in Canton, OH. Going in to it I really did not know what to expect since I have never been to or even watched the Enshrinement on TV. Luckily though, I was able to shoot with a colleague, Charles LeClaire. The two of us arrived almost 6 hours before the event. This gave us time to make sure everything was working and time to get familiar with the surrounding area.
This weekend I had the opportunity to start off the 2012-2013 NFL season by photographing the Detroit Lions first and second day of training camp at their headquarters in Allen Park. I am really looking forward to this season for many reasons. First off, I hope the Lions will be able to go a little farther in the playoffs, and maybe even be able to host a home playoff game. I have also come to really like photographing football. I have never been a big fan of football but I am really starting to like photographing it. Here are some images from the two days spent at their training facility. Be sure to check back in about a week for more NFL images from next weekend.
Photographing the US Senior Open at Indianwood Golf and Country Club in Lake Orion, Michigan took me back to the days of the Buick Open that was held at Warwick Hills in Grand Blanc, Michigan.
Growing up in Grand Blanc as a kid was exciting for me when the Buick Open would come into town. You could drive by the golf course and see all the people watching, and maybe even be able to see a PGA player. Then there was always watching it live on TV, knowing it was happening just a few minutes away. It was also exciting watching the blimp from our backyard while playing golf with wiffle balls in the yard. One fonder memory though, is going to the Family Days. They weren’t that special, but just being there during the practice round and being able to experience all the hype in person was pretty cool. It was special because we got to ride a bus, and a homeschooler doesn’t get to ride one very often. It was a good time when the Buick Open came into town.
When I first heard that the US Senior Open was coming to Lake Orion I was very excited and immediately began to think of possible clients. However, I was lucky enough to have my editor contact me asking me if I wanted to cover it. I obliviously said yes and counted down the days until it started since I love photographing golf.
On Father’s Day weekend I covered 912 miles in 67 hours on only 10 hours of sleep. If I said I was tired, that would be an understatement! I started off on Friday by heading to Brooklyn, MI, which is the home of the Michigan International Speedway. There I would be covering the Quicken Loans 400 Practice for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. After spending the day there I headed to Lansing where I was going to compete in Dirty Feat, an adventure race held in the capital, on Saturday. The race covered some 50 miles on bike, foot, and canoe. After eight hours of non-stop exercise I was on my way home for a few hours before heading back to MIS. In order to beat all the traffic I set my alarm for 4:30am and was off to the track. Once there I covered some pre-race events and waited for the race to start since there was a rain delay. Once the race was over and I had finished sending pictures to my editors, I was on my way home for some much needed rest. Here are some pictures from my adventures. You can see all the images here and here.

A few weekends ago I was able to photograph something totally new to me. I was able to photograph my first IndyCar race, not only that but it was the first car race I had ever photographed. I had never photographed cars before, even though I am from the Motor City, and it was definitely different compared to anything else I have photographed. The loud roar of the engines and the smell of the fuel in the air added to the atmosphere. I spent twelve hours at the track, but I had a blast and the time flew by. You can view all the photos here.
This past weekend I photographed a doubleheader as Oakland Community College hosted Macomb Community College. Macomb CC came from behind to win the first game in extra innings before again winning the second game. Here are a few pictures from the day.
Is Sports Shooter really worth it? Yes it is! A few months ago I joined Sports Shooters, I wasn’t sure what to expect from it but I decided to go for it and pay the $25.00 annual fee. Since that time it has been a great help. I can look up stadiums where I have never shot at and it will tell me where the media entrance is as well as other useful information. I can look up contacts for teams or agencies. I can ask questions on the message board, I can even sell my used gear. I can post a portfolio. However, it can be much more. It can be a place where you reach new clients. This recently happened to me when I was contacted by Lacrosse Magazine who found me through Sports Shooter. Fortunately, I had the evening free and was able to shoot for them. The $25.00 that I spent has brought me a lot of useful knowledge through the knowledge that is shared on the site as well as brought me clients, all of which is very useful.
Here are a few pictures from the game. Be sure to check out more right here.

I recently was able to photograph the Detroit Pistons as they hosted the Chicago Bulls. It was a very exciting game and with just second left Derrick Rose made a three pointer over Greg Monroe to send the game into overtime. In overtime the Bulls came out on top 100-94. Here are a few images and be sure to check out the rest right here.
